I just did a test with a fully-patched, newly spun-up Ubuntu Server 14.04 AWS instance, and the behavior seems to be present with kernel 3.13.0-107. I can't verify all of the symptoms described by the reporter, because I don't have physical access; but I get "connection refused" when trying to SSH into it, after making an intentionally-bad edit to /etc/fstab.
For completeness, this is the bad edit I made:
/home/ubuntu/test.img /mnt ext4 defaults 0 0
The file referenced was created with:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/home/ubuntu/test.img bs=1M count=20
When attempting to mount this file from the command-line, it produces a "wrong filesystem type" error, as expected.
(New kernel is still compiling...)
